The post you are reporting:
Paul, I only found out that Buckland Mill is being developed with housing when I walked past there and saw the construction work going on.
No-one had ever told me or informed me beforehand of the impending decision to build houses there, and so I had no way of objecting.
If I had known, I'd have objected on the grounds that that site ought to be used for an industrial complex, renovating the existing structure, as we need more employment in Dover.
Ross, DDC plan to build over 9,000 houses over the coming few decades in the Dover area (not counting other areas of the District), of which the majority have already been planned.
Our local population does not need anything near that number of new houses, so the point raised there is totally misleading.
Do we have a population increase with a tendency of 5-7 children per family? No!
Such arguments are designed to mislead the public, as they are not based on logical calculations. It is quite clear that so many new houses, and indeed housing estates, are meant to accommodate major migration to Dover.
